@TulikaBose_ Honestly, if you are a man or a woman with an abusive partner...it doesn't matter "why" they do it, and you shouldn't spend time on it.
Make a plan to get your life back and get out.
someone on threads said, “the female bird doesnt explain to the male bird what he needs to do to impress her, she just leaves when he fails.” i think about that a lot.
Bingooooo — so many men have lied to get sex, faked who they are to get sex, lied about their status to get sex, cheated then came home to their partner… and had sex with them. They think consent just means saying yes. But if that yes would be changed based on that person knowing the truth, then it’s not consent. And they hate knowing that they’re rapists.
Between the 1500s and 1700s, women in Britain, Germany, and Scotland were punished with the Scold’s Bridle a cruel iron mask that locked around their head, pressed down or pierced their tongue, and forced them into public humiliation. Women labeled as “too talkative” or “disrespectful” were chained, paraded through the streets, and ridiculed.
This wasn’t just about keeping someone quiet—it was a tool of patriarchal control, designed to punish women who dared to speak, stand up, or defy male authority. Some masks even had bells so everyone could hear their arrival, turning their suffering into a spectacle. Today, surviving bridles in museums remind us how far societies went to silence women and why fighting misogyny and patriarchal control is still necessary.
Yes. Males evolved as the secondary sex to support the primary sex and take on drone-type tasks in the community. Patriarchy is unnatural because men are not leaders. Men are most content in strict hierarchies where they’re told exactly what to do—military, athletic teams, etc.
It is. Almost every patriarchal practice that existed was justified through interpretation of Dharmashastras. They weren't just "social evils" or "invaders reee". The best defense that is given is "misinterpretation". This was the reformist strategy in the colonial period to
when you materially benefit from exploiting a group of people, you tend to dehumanize them, so that you feel less bad about what you're doing. It's similar to how landlords shit-talk and nitpick their tenants or how westerners villify immigrants from the global south
Women, quite literally, outperform men in almost everything.
Patriarchy exists to protect men from that fact. It, quite literally, insulates the weaker sex.
curiosidade: quando uma tecnologia é perigosa eles fazem mulheres usarem nos comerciais, como a Kylie jenner e a lisa, assim em vez de você associar os óculos á assédio vc associa a beleza ou moda, a imagem feminina serve pra mostrar que "não é tão perigoso assim" n caiam
I'm glad people are finally realizing that marriage isn't some mandatory life achievement . Why do we make it the biggest goal of our lives? It's completely okay not to get married. Not everyone wants or needs marriage to have a happy, fulfilling life.
